The Pre-Law Society and Business Law Society collaborated to host the second annual Moot Court Competition, bringing students together for a day of appellate advocacy and legal analysis on the McNichols Campus of University of Detroit Mercy.
The highest-scoring team were juniors Mera Alnajjar and Zach Rubicz, whose arguments distinguished them among a competitive field of participants.
The competition focused on United States v. Alvarez (2012), a case centered on First Amendment protections and the limits of free speech. Participants engaged directly with questions about truth, expression, and constitutional rights in a simulated courtroom setting.
The event was organized and led by student leaders Eemi Toma and Yousif Salim, who coordinated the day’s proceedings and helped ensure a successful competition.
The Moot Court Competition continues to provide students with opportunities to engage directly with constitutional law and develop practical advocacy experience.
